"We had a pleasant experience with William Cullumâ s company. He came out himself at the start of the job, the first day of the build, and at completion of the project to ensure customer satisfaction. We requested an adjustment to the work and it was completed accurately and promptly. The project was done ahead of schedule and I recommended services to my neighbor who expressed interest after seeing the finished result."

"Great experience with this contractor. I had a couple areas on the front of my home where the soffit had pulled away from the fascia and they fixed this plus a couple other areas they found. Right on time, very professional work, looks like brand new. Highly recommended."

"I was thoroughly impressed with the guys at Husker Deck. They have real pride in what they do and a work ethic that makes them standout. I met with three other deck building companies before selecting Husker Deck. I chose them because their bid was competitive, they were eager to work with me, not just â  sellâ  me a deck, and I worked with the guy that would be building my deck, not the company rep that couldnâ  t build a birdhouse. I lost count of the number of times they checked in with me to update me on their progress and to make sure Iâ  d be happy with the deck. Do yourself a favor and make sure they bid on your work. Youâ  re unlikely to find another company as focused on making sure youâ  re happy with the project and are as easy to work with."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.
